Description

The CIFS kernel module includes client stats in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats, but only if the kernel is configured with CONFIG_CIFS_STATS.

It includes per mountpoint info, so it should be pretty useful.

Research direction

Start by examining /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and the existing procfs parsers to understand its format and per-mountpoint fields. Add support for reading the CIFS client stats when available, and verify that the parser handles the CONFIG_CIFS_STATS condition and exposes the reported data correctly.
